Why can't he hold a glass of water?

This is not new either. Saw it sometime last year.

1. Tiny hands. nt

[2naSalit]

2. Something wrong with right hand/arm... nt

[Clash City Rocker]

3. Many people think it's some sort of dementia

Look at this comparison of Trump five years ago vs. now...

https://mobile.twitter.com/atrupar/status/1271849561129091073?s=21

He’s slurring his speech, he looks awkward when he stands, he has trouble holding things. These are symptoms of dementia.

[LudwigPastorius]

33. Some of that could simply be attributed to the subject matter.

He seems energized and interested when talking about himself.

Conversely, he always seems like a sleepy, grumpy nine-year-old reading a book report when he's telepromptering about a non-Trump subject.

That aside, he's always been crazy. Now he's crazy, tired, and beginning to realize that he is defeated.

4. I'm going with "stroke", but others have made a good case for other reasons, too.

Dementia, various degenerative cervical spine/nerve diseases, and carpal tunnel syndrome have been mentioned. I could see any of them being at the root of this, including the latter, considering how much of his time is spent typing in tweets on his phone. I'll add another possibility: His muscles are so atrophied from not exercising that he doesn't even have the strength to pick up a glass of water. Also notice that he does a lot more seated "round table" discussions, rather than stand-up press conferences. Is he so out of shape that he can't stand up for more than a few minutes at a time?

6. So how does he play golf?

I saw the water incident today

[Elwood P Dowd]

7. He takes his own personal "medication", whatever that is, to energize his fat ass

when playing golf or conducting Hitler rallies.

[GoCubsGo]

20. Very badly, from everything I have seen and read.

Consider that he spends most of his game driving around in a cart. He drives right up on the green so that he doesn't have to walk very far. That does a good job of covering up some of what ails him as far as walking goes, whether it's because he can't, or because he won't. I'm no fan of golf, but even I can see from the videos of him playing that his swing is terrible, and on the weak side. Don't know if that's due to disease/degeneration, or if he always sucked. Probably both.

[malaise]

23. Very badly

That's good enough for me

[sarge43]

32. Well, he cheats for one thing. Moving the ball to a better position for example

I know, we're shocked.

[Dave Starsky]

49. He "plays" golf the way a four-year-old plays golf.

He rides around in a cart for almost the whole course (even onto the greens) and gets out and whacks the ball a few times.

[brush]

46. It's likely some sort of palsy. Some older people develop a shakiness...

when trying to do smaller, more precise movements with their hands. It'll just get worse, but it's ok, we're putting his old ass out to pasture come November.

[Faux pas]

5. I'm

betting dementia too.

[WinstonSmith4740]

34. That's what I was thinking

My mom had Alzheimer's/dementia, and my late husband had a stroke. If Trump had a stroke, it was mild. There would be no hiding the effects of a major one. He's more in step with what I saw with my mom. A slow glide path, with an ugly end.

[Faux pas]

50. My

mom had Alzheimer's too. Nothing good or pretty about it.

[BamaRefugee]

8. The only drinking implement he's ever held is a paper cup from McDonalds

[oasis]

9. Please hang in there until 11/3. Please Mr. President.

[LizBeth]

10. He got the glass up there, but could not tip it to get a drink.

[csziggy]

11. Not that I want to be charitable to Dolt45, but it may be his short stubby fingers

I have big hands for a woman, but my fingers are very short. With all but small diameter glasses and bottles, I have to use two hands to securely hold them - my fingers just don't reach far enough around big containers to get a solid grip so I end up using both hands to hold items. Also, at almost 68 I am losing strength in my grip which used to be able to help with holding some larger containers

[Dave Starsky]

51. It was a standard water glass.

Not a Big Gulp.

Assuming you don't have some sort of neurological problem, I'm sure you would have managed just fine.

[tblue37]

12. Neurological degeneration attendant on dementia, perhaps, or maybe he had a stroke back

when he was rushed to the hospital.

Of course, this isn't the first time we've seen him struggle with water.

[intrepidity]

13. Shoulder problems could also look like that nt

[roamer65]

14. Neurological disorder.

[Gothmog]

15. Definite neurological damage of some form. Could be he has had a small stroke

39. Remember when he was rushed to the hospital one day?

White House doctor rode with him.

Maybe a stroke then.

[niyad]

40. Nah, he was "inspecting" the facilities at Walter Reed

[Cha]

47. TY for this Goth.. "trump still hasn't figured out how to drink water"..

BLOTUS is the Hell Monster & always mocking everyone else.. remember him mocking the disabled reporter? Well, I look at this as his Karma is a MF.

19. Pffft. He's too stupid. He's barely functional!

All of these medical explanations. Stroke? Dementia?

Pshaw!

He’s a fucking moron who has to have other people feed and dress him.

He isn’t just demented - he’s always been this stupid.

Too stupid to know how to drink from a glass like a human.

[GoCubsGo]

21. Consider that he gets the bulk of his fluids from a Diet Coke can.

He's probably terrified of having to drink something other than Diet Coke, and of drinking out of something with such a big opening.

[SoonerPride]

22. Hahahahaha

“Omg I’m gonna pour this all over my face and the makeup will wash off! Ack!”

[Ms. Toad]

24. Could be something as innocuous as rotator cuff.

He brings up his left hand just as he's trying to rotate the cup toward his mouth. i just had inflammation, but it was extremely painful.

[mahina]

25. Could also be a tremor. Not uncommon.

Water all over his front is not a good look.

[Gothmog]

26. Is the President of the United States physically well?

Link to tweet

[LudwigPastorius]

37. I think that is a result of wearing lifts and refusing to wear glasses.

His center of balance is fucked even when he's just standing. Put him on an incline, with the inability to see where his next step is, and it's Woooah, Nelly!
